Things have been rather quiet at emacs-fu - reason for this is that most of my
emacs hacking time has been spent on mu4e, the emacs e-mail client I
wrote. It's been shaping up pretty nicely, I should probably write some
emacs-fu posts about it :)

In order to have the games show up in your agenda, make sure the file is in
your org-agenda-files. If needed, you could add it with something like this in
your org-mode settings (change the directory path to wherever you have put
euro2012.org):

(add-to-list 'org-agenda-files "~/org/euro2012.org")

One small issue with the schedule is that it uses the central-european summer
time (UTC+2), and there is no automatic way to adjust times for the local time
zone. As a work-around, Juan Pechiar provided the following function which makes
it easy to update all org-timestamps in a file:

Interesting idea. I made a mess of myself the first few times when I saw local times (Ukraine and Poland's time differ by 1 hour).

I'm mainly a vim guy at the moment but I want to give emacs a try some day. I specially like it's ability to use lisp (of which I know only a little).

So, on my next vacations, after I'm really comfortable with touchtyping, I'm picking a boof of lisp and some good emacs tutorials and I'll see how it goes.

This might look a bit spammy but If you're looking for a Euro Cup predictor to compete with friends this is pretty cool (xls file and simple explanation in post):http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=109977.0
